Convert MLP to ALAC

MLP to ALAC Conversion Softwareconverts MLP
files to ALAC (Apple Lossless Audio Codec). With a simple and use-to-use
interface, the conversion from MLP to ALAC is as easy as 1-2-3. You don't
need to know professional knowledge of MLP and ALAC. The converter also support
common formats such as M4A (MPEG-4 audio), OGG, AC3, MPA, M4R (iPhone ringtone), MMF, AMR, AU, etc. It could convert MP4 to MPA, FLAC to WAV, MKV to MPA, MOV to AMR, M4V to OGG, ADTS to OGG, and so
on.

The software is very easy to use and supports batch conversion.
It is full compatible with 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 10/8/7/Vista/XP/2000.

What is MLP?
MLP (Meridian Lossless Packing) is a lossless coding system for use on high-quality
digital audio data originally represented as linear PCM. High quality audio these
days implies high sample rates, large word sizes and multichannel.

The MLP is used by Meridian codec. Audio compression used on DVD video discs.

MLP performs lossless compression of up to 63 audio channels including 24-bit
material sampled at rates as high as 192kHz.

Lossless compression has many applications in the recording and distribution
of audio. In designing MLP we have paid a lot of attention to the application
of lossless compression to data-rate-limited ransmission (e.g. storage on DVD),
to the option of constant data rate in the compressed domain and to aspects that
impact on mastering and authoring. MLP was targeted to provide:

Good compression of both peak and average data rates.

Use of both fixed and variable-rate data-streams.

Automatic savings on bass-effects channels.

Automatic savings on signals that do not use all of the available bandwidth
(e.g. sampled at 96kHz).

Automatic savings when channels are correlated.

Comprehensive metadata.

Hierarchical access to multichannel information.

Modest decoding requirements.

MLP provides for up to 63 channels, but applications tend to be limited by
the available data rate. To aid compatibility, MLP uses a hierarchical stream
structure containing multiple substreams and hierarchical additional data. With
this stream structure decoders need only access part of the stream to playback
subsets of the audio. Suitable use of the substreams also allows 2-channel compatibility;
a low-complexity decoder can recover a stereo mix from a multichannel stream.
Figure 1 gives an overview of the process of losslessly compressing a stream containing
multiple audio channels and auxiliary data onto a disc.

What is ALAC?Apple Lossless (also known as Apple Lossless Encoder, ALE,
or Apple Lossless Audio Codec, ALAC) is an audio codec developed by Apple
Inc. for lossless data compression of digital music.

Apple Lossless data is stored within an MP4 container with the filename extension
.m4a. It is not a variant of AAC, but uses linear prediction similar to other
lossless codecs such as FLAC and Shorten. iPod players with a dock connector (not
the Shuffle) and recent firmware can play Apple Lossless-encoded files. It does
not utilize any digital rights management (DRM) scheme, but by the nature of the
container, it is thought that DRM can be applied to ALAC much the same way it
can with other files in QuickTime containers.

Click "Add Files" to choose MLP files and then add them
to conversion list.

Choose one or more MLP files you want to convert and then click Open.

Choose "to ALAC (Apple Lossless)"

Convert MLP to ALAC

Click on "Convert" to convert MLP files to ALAC format; alternatively,
click on "Convert to One" to convert all files in list and
combine to a single one ALAC file.

The software is converting MLP files to ALAC format.

Play and Browse ALAC File

When conversion completes, you could right-click on converted file and choose
"Play Destination" to play the ALAC file; or choose "Browse
Destination Folder" to open Windows Explorer to browse the outputted ALAC
file.
